Winner of the Funk Fusion category at the 2020 NY Independent Music Awards, Psycho Loco is a collaboration with storyteller and lyricist Verna Gillis. Verna wrote the words and I wrote the music. We had so much fun making this song. It features Annie Whitehead on trombones, Jerry Marotta on drums and percussion and John Medseki on Hammond B3 organ. I sang and played bass, piano and guitar. I made this video on a Samsung A70 Android phone using Power Director and Rotorvideo. Most of the final editing was done sitting in seat 17D on a Norwegian airlines Boeing 787. Technology which only a few years ago would have been beyond our wildest dreams. The track was recorded initially at my studio and Annie's place in Margate UK, and then at Jersville and Dteamland, Jerry's studios in Woodstock NY. It was engineered by Ariel Shafir. We mixed at Dreamland it was mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road in London.
